Frequently asked questions

Is Whiteout PDF safe to use?

Yes. Everything happens in your browser. Your selected files are processed in your browser and are not uploaded to our server. Closing the tab clears the working session from this page; downloaded outputs remain on your device until you delete them.

Do I need to register or sign in?

No. No account, no email, no sign-up. Open the page and start using the tool immediately. Free to use, no signup needed.

Is there a watermark on the output?

No. PDF Tools Base never adds a watermark or branding to your output. Your final file is clean — just what you produced from the original.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no fixed limit. Files are processed in your browser, so RAM, page count, and file complexity affect what is feasible. Phones may struggle with large PDFs; try splitting first or use a desktop browser.
